Review of Memphis, Tennessee


Went Back to Austin QUICKLY
Star Rating - 8/31/2005
Well, I followed a friend to Memphis and decided to payoff 6 months rent just to get out! Seriously, this was probably the most depressing place I have EVER been. Watching the 10pm news would give you grey hair, and locals would try and bum money off me, and my friends. You could see "depression" in the face of every citizen, and EVERYONE was ALWAYS talking about religion CONSTANTLY and you could watch people walk out the grocery store with stolen goods...HAHA BIG contrast from Austin. Anyway I could write a book on how BAD Memphis is, but take my word for it...DON'T EVEN VISIT its just not worth it..... AMERICA has some serious reflecting to do in general....On another note check out Minneapolis, MN and anytown, WI I did enjoy my time in those two places.
